Having survived the Niagara Falls crowds without flinging ourselves over the railing in a barrel, we were on a mission – Penguins at the Aquarium of Niagara on the New York side. Not just any penguins, but yes, the rare Peruvian penguin. Do these guys know how cute they are waddling around? Watching them during feeding time was a treat. Word is this small aquarium is one of only a few to house these birds. The pink and white fellows were oddly likeable in an ugly ducking kind of way. We wanted to jump in and protect them ourselves. Son and Daughter bought “Please Feed the Penguins” t-shirts at the gift shop.

Cutting across Ontario from Stratford we passed through wine country and landed in the charming Niagara-on-the-Lake. It is easy to see why it has been dubbed “the prettiest town in Canada”. Niagara-on-the-Lake is seriously British with its clock tower, curved awnings and wrought-iron lampposts.

Give a kid a 150 foot sand dune to climb and even Nintendo takes a back seat. It was out of the way – the pinkie of Michigan.s “mitten” – but that just made it more appealing. We wanted someplace remote and real and that’s what we found.

From Wisconsin’s Door County we ambled across Michigan’s remote Upper Peninsula on a two lane road glimpsing seagulls hovering over the vast bays of Lake Michigan. Destination: little Mackinac Island at the top of Michigan’s “mitten”.

Whether you are decorating your home, your personal office, or your workplace making sure that you not only create an aesthetically appealing design but also one that is practical, functional, and shows your personality is crucial. Before you start rearranging furniture, adding accent pieces, remodeling, or repainting make sure that you have a plan in place. Here are a few things beginners should consider for their interior design:

With the Suzuki SX4 crossover, it is going to be a very popular choice however there is a massive drawback to the fact that with this engine there will only be one type of engine to choose from. There will be the classic 1.6 petrol engine that reaches a big 118bhp but not as great as you might think when it comes to revving the engine, that is something to watch out for however. This won’t be the best type of car that you can drive but the engine can be pushed all the way and you will find the speeds over this is perfect, fast and reliable.

The Chevrolet Captiva is going to be one of the most powerful cars on the market today though it will be a quite expensive car depending on how you look at it. Some would say that twenty grand is a lot of money to pay out especially if the price could reach up to thirty thousand pounds.

The Toyota RAV4 crossover are going to be a very popular choice, there are only going to be two options over the engines however which will be the 2.0 litre Valve matic petrol engine which reaches 156bhp and the second 2.2D-4D diesel engine that can reach a good 148bhp. The good thing about the diesel engine is that this is a strong and powerful engine but then again it can be quite loud at many times but the power is still good enough.

If we have to be completely honest about the performance over this car then it is going to be that it ranks a mere two out of five stars which is very disappointing in deed. This is not going to be very impressive if you are going to look for the performance over a lot more things in a car; this is going to be a big factor however performance wise, you obviously want to have a good performance in a car but you might need to think about the other features needed with a car if it is to be successful.
